Extreme fire danger, poor air quality and other hazards shut down hundreds of schools across about two dozen Los Angeles-area districts on Wednesday — and likely longer — as officials were en route to survey “significant damage” at 63-year-old Palisades Charter High School,

Palisades Charter High School is one of the many buildings that has been engulfed in flames due to the wildfires raging in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles.

The live news broadcasts show the blaze and heavy smoke on the property. Firefighters are seen on the ground trying to extinguish the fire to prevent it from spreading. On Wednesday, officials posted a closure notice on the school's website.

Three schools in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles are among the estimated 1,000 structures that have been damaged or destroyed by the raging Palisades wildfire.

Fires raging across Southern California have burned through several schools, though officials are still trying to get a full accounting of the damage. Palisades Charter High School, Palisades Charter Elementary School and Marquez Elementary School were significantly damaged by the Palisades fire,
